GT3 Seat brackets/rails for taller driver

What are the options for GT3 Seat rails/ brackets for a Tall driver 6'4" Are there any that keep the ability to slide the seats?

Brey-Krause has a seat bracket for a GT3 seat that lowers it 1 more inch from the stock bracket...still uses the GT3 sliders, so yes, the seat will slide. I have it for my seat...I'm 6'7"

Hi guys im the 6'9" guy that instigated, helped design and tested the BK tall guy seat rail for the GT3 seat. I used to time trial a Boxster S and I wanted to fit under the 2" roll bar rule. Im glad that my fellow Tall guy Porsche owners out there are using it!

No those parts are for attaching the seat pan directly to the floor without the slider...That is the lowest possible configuration, but you cannot slide the seat.

Here are the brackets I have for my seat...lowers it 1 inch and needs no other parts. I'm 6'7" and I can wear a helmet w/o hitting the roof with this setup...It attaches to the slider that comes with the seat and is a simple swap out with the stock seat pan bracket.

I bought mine from this place.

Ok his problem was the seat did not move back far enough. Am I reading that correctly... it give 2 inches of additional leg room?

Not sure what you mean??? The GT3 seat with the slider will go back as far as a stock seat if you don't have a roll bar...I have a rollbar and I really don't have leg room problems...I can only comment on the bracket that lowers the seat 1 inch using the sliders that come with the GT3 seat. I have not used the other option you posted. You would be better served to contact BK for that information...
